  • This Was My Presentation for the 2012 Initiatives in Art and Culture Arts
    This was my presentation for the 2012 Initiatives in Art and Culture Arts and Crafts conference, “ ‘The Workshop of the World;’ The Arts and Crafts Movement in Philadelphia,” September 20- 23, 2012. At the last minute speakers were forced to convert our presentations into Microsoft’s “PowerPoint” and, as anyone who has gotten used to the luxury and flexibility of Mac’s “Keynote” presentation program will know, Keynote is to PowerPoint what Stokowski conducting Tchaikovsky is to your cat playing “Chopsticks” on the piano. The computers and projector at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts transformed all the presentations—mostly by dulling all the colors down to a palette of dead red, swamp green and diarrhea yellow, which was most apparent in Julie Sloan’s talk about stained-glass windows, but it also made any text on the screen very difficult to read. Some of my layered pictures are worth a thousand words, which meant that even under the best of circumstances most viewers could not have had the time to read all I wrote over the complex images. The projected text is not essential to my primary premise, so I used it like footnotes or asides because there were too many interesting research byways to be included in my overview of the Arts and Crafts movement as it happened in Philadelphia. Quickly passing over so much information annoyed many in the audience, so I’m uploading all the images as they appeared during my spoken text. The layout won’t flow as nicely as I would like, but every detail is reproduced.

  • Jews and Unitarians Reform Faith and Architecture In
    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School School of Humanities BUILDING LIBERAL RELIGION: JEWS AND UNITARIANS REFORM FAITH AND ARCHITECTURE IN NINETEENTH-CENTURY PHILADELPHIA A Dissertation in American Studies by Matthew F. Singer © 2016 Matthew F. Singer Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2016 The dissertation of Matthew F. Singer was reviewed and approved* by the following: Simon J. Bronner Distinguished Professor of American Studies and Folklore Dissertation Adviser Chair of Committee Gregory A. Crawford Interim Director of the School of Humanities John Haddad Professor of American Studies and Popular Culture Anne A. Verplanck Associate Professor of American Studies and Heritage Studies Simon J. Bronner Director, American Studies Doctoral Program *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School ii ABSTRACT “Building Liberal Religion: Jews and Unitarians Reform Faith and Architecture in Nineteenth-Century Philadelphia” fuses family, social, intellectual, and religious histories with material culture analysis to document, interpret, and explore the achievements of the ecumenical network that developed between Victorian Philadelphia’s community of Americanizing and liberalizing Jews and Unitarians. The locus of this network was the relationship that developed between the Reverend William Henry Furness (1802–1896) of the First Unitarian Church of Philadelphia and the progressive Rabbi Marcus Jastrow (1829–1903) of Congregation Rodeph Shalom soon after the rabbi’s arrival in Philadelphia in 1866. This network expanded and continued for some sixty years among the clerics’ families, congregations, colleagues, and friends. Through his singular talents, vision, and the prolificness, the Reverend’s son Frank Furness (1802–1896) translated the reformist theological, philosophical, social, and aesthetic sensibilities that shaped the ministry of his father and the rabbinate of Marcus Jastrow into ecclesiastical, cultural, educational, commercial, and domestic structures and their furnishings.

  • 2006 Commencement Program, University of Pennsylvania
    UNIVERSITY Of PENNSYLVANIA ommencement MONDAY, MAY 15 , 2006 Celebrating our Founder's 300th birthday in 2006 b 250th Commencement 2006 175 6 wo hundred and fifty years ago Philadelphia was the largest city in the British colonies of North America. The Delaware River waterfront was the very heart of the - - . industry. This view identifies the s ires of the city churches and public buildings, including that of the College and Academy of Philadelphia. ENGRAVING BY NICHOLAS SCULL & GEORGE HEAP. COLLECTIONS OF THE LIBRARY COMPANY OF PHILADELPHIA . THE UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA Keeping Franklin's Promise Two thousand and six represents a milestone in the life of the University and our graduates. Not only is it Penn's 250th Commencement, but it is also the 300th anniversary of Benjamin Franklin's birth. We are proud to claim Franklin as our founder. He continues to dazzle us with his genius and enrich our lives. We still make use of his scientific breakthroughs and inventions and the civic institutions that he established. We enjoy the bless- ings of freedom in an American democracy he helped to create. We draw pleasure and inspiration from his writings. Nowhere does Franklin feel more contemporary, more revolutionary, and more alive than at the University of Pennsylvania. His startling vision of a secular, nonsectarian Academy that wouldfoster an "Inclination join 'd with an Ability to serve Mankind, one's Country, Friends and Family" has never ceased to challenge Penn to redefine the scope and mission of the modern American university. When pursued vigorously and simultaneously, the two missions — developing the inclination to do good and the ability to do well — merge to help form a more perfect university that educates more capable citizens for our democracy.
